| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | August 30, 2001 |

Defect
On vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, the stop lamp switch was manufactured using an improper process. Grease applied to the pedal bracket and anti-rust oil applied to the return spring migrate into the interior of the switch and carbonize, increasing electrical resistance. Continued use may cause the shaft to deform due to heat generated within the switch, rendering the switch inoperative. In the worst case, the shift-lock function cannot be released and the stop lamps fail to illuminate.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, wipe the grease from the pedal bracket and replace the stop lamp switch with the corrected/revised part.

状況
自動変速機付車のストップランプスイッチにおいて、当該スイッチの製造方法が不適切な ため、ペダルブラケットに塗布されたグリース及びリターンスプリングに塗布してある防 錆油が、当該スイッチ内部に侵入して炭化することにより、電気抵抗が大きくなるものが あり、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、最悪の場合、発熱によりシャフトが変形してス イッチが作動しなくなり、シフトロック機能が解除できなくなるとともに制動灯が点灯し なくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ペダルブラケットに塗布されたグリースを拭き取るとともに当該スイッチを対策 品と交換する。
